I work exclusively with Kinbaku and other types of Japanese rope bondage(shibari is the word some people use for it). I've been a professional rope model for almost 2 years now.

Specifically, I lean more towards Rope Suspension then anything else. Though anytime I can lay blissfully in a pile of used jute/hemp are a scene is worth it.

Well lots of great posts! We still love the rope binding a year later and are getting much more elaborate! Keep voting and commenting!

I used to be a die-hard ropegirl, but nowadays my SO and I have been taking the lazy way out due to our new Sportsheets Cuffs. *laughs*

Hopefully we'll get back into the swing of things...there's something about the feel of rope that I miss occasionally.

same. However, I do miss taking the time and effort to bind her in rope...the process is almost as good as the the play time while she is bound...gotta use rope more often...

I love the heaviness of leather cuffs, but rope has a lot of versatility.

I have some bed restraints, love them. Also ordering a liberator black label collection wedge-ramp soon that will have the leopard cuffs on it. The boyfriend also said he was interested in learning some rope play soon, so we will see.

I love leather cuffs, but like a good tight rope tie from time to time.

Hmm, I feel rope are better but I do like the smell of leather and look of cuffs.
It's just if someone really wanted to torture me outside of play, to truly restrain me, they'd use ropes.

Rope work is very time consuming, usually seconds count in our bedroom.
